Earlier this year, Epiphone brought one of Gibson’s most desirable one-off finishes to the masses in the form of the Guitar Center-exclusive Widow Les Paul. Now, that gorgeous guitar has been given a healthy Cyber Monday discount that sees its price tag fall from $799 down to just $649.

Even aside from the headlining, custom finish – which will doubtless appeal to those who find your average Les Paul to be not quite striking enough – it's a lot of guitar for just $649.

Epiphone Les Paul Custom Widow: was $799 now $649 at Guitar Center

Earlier this year, Epiphone brought one of Gibson’s most desirable one-off finishes to the masses in the form of the Guitar Center-exclusive Widow Les Paul. Now, that gorgeous guitar has been given a healthy Cyber Monday discount that sees its price tag fall from $799 down to just $649. Even aside from the headlining finish, it's a lot of guitar for the price.

Part of Epiphone's Inspired by Gibson range, the Widow Les Paul features a mahogany body with that striking flame maple top, with mahogany also chosen for the modern medium C-profile neck, which itself features an ebony fretboard.

Sounds come by way of a pair of ProBucker Custom humbuckers modeled after Gibson Custom's pickups, accompanied by your standard quartet of controls – a Volume and Tone for each ’bucker – and a three-way selector.

But what really seals the deal are those visual touches, the color-matched binding and the way the chrome hardware stands out against the rest of the dark finish? Mmm mmm mmm.
